ThinkPad SL 400 and Intel Virtualization Technology

‎06-19-200902:21 PM

I've got a Lenovo ThinkPad SL 400 which it's suppose to support 64 bits systems. I'm running VMWare Workstation and I need to be able to create 64bits virtual machines but Intel VT option doesn't appear in the BIOS (AMI 1.23 version) of this laptop. Can anyone help me out with this? I can't believe that older laptops (T's) come with this option and this newer one not.

Hi! Thanks for the replies. I've got a 2743ACG too and the CPU it's a T5870. I've read the thread of SL500 and i guess we have the same problem with the SL400. Both CPU's are not listed on the official intel processor list (i guess because of an OEM license to Lenovo). My question is, in case as expected Intel VT it's not supported by this processor, is it possible to purchase another processor (like the T7xxx) that supports Intel VT and the whole thing with the VT will work or it needs changing the motherboard too?
